  • Racial Discrimination
    Individuals 329 IX INDIVIDUALS Discrimination - racial discrimination - International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination - Articles 4 and 14 - Australian implementation On 21 August 1990 the Attorney-General, Mr Duffy, provided the following written answer in part to a question on notice (HR Deb 1990, Vol 172, p 1214): The only State which to date has legislated against racial vilification is New South Wales, which did so in 1989. No. Australia has made a reservation to Article 4. It is still too early to assess the effectiveness of the NSW legislation, and the Government is also awaiting the report of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission's National Inquiry into Racist Violence. Article 14 of the Convention provides for States Parties to declare their recognition of the competence of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to receive and consider communications from individuals and groups within that State Party who have exhausted all available domestic remedies. Australia has not to date made such a declaration, but the issue is one that is on the agenda of the Standing Committee of Attorney-General for consideration, together with the related issues of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (the ICCPR) and the declaration that may be made under Article 41 of the ICCPR. On 21 December 1990 the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Senator Gareth Evans, provided the following written answer in part to a question on notice (HR Deb 1990, Vol174, pp 4999-5000): Since 1983, the Australian Government has undertaken extensive consultations with the State and Territory Governments in relation to accession to the First Optional Protocol, both individually and through the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General.
